Genes affected
XRCC4 (HGNC:12831): (X-ray repair cross complementing 4) The protein encoded by this gene functions together with DNA ligase IV and the DNA-dependent protein kinase in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. This protein plays a role in both non-homologous end joining and the completion of V(D)J recombination. Mutations in this gene can cause short stature, microcephaly, and endocrine dysfunction (SSMED). Alternate transcript variants such as NM_022406 are unlikely to be expressed in some individuals due to a polymorphism (rs1805377) in the last splice acceptor site. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2019]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg225*) in the XRCC4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in XRCC4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25728776). This variant is present in population databases (rs768825050, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with short stature, microcephaly, and endocrine dysfunction (PMID: 25728776). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 208518). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The observed stop gained variant c.673C>Tp.Arg225Ter in the XRCC4 gene has been reported previously in individuals affected with XRCC4 related disorder. Experimental evidence shows that the defects of XRCC4 in patients might be mainly due to insufficiency in protein quantity and impaired functionality, underscoring the importance of XRCC4's DSB repair function in normal development. Bee L, et al., 2015; Asa ADDC, et al., 2021. This variant is reported with the allele frequency 0.001% in the gnomAD Exomes. It is submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic. Computational evidence MutationTaster - Disease causing predicts damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
